God I didn’t know the Vince Russo cage match, Mike Awesome nearly murdering Shaggy 2 Dope, and HEY SLAPNUTS happened on the same episode of Nitro. Legendary.
Wcw went crazy this episode 😂
"THE BUS HAS BEEN WASHED"
I'm not even sure if Mark Madden's immediate family are fans of Mark Madden's commentary.
guy was a cheap rip off of Jerry Lawler
Dudes a mark for himself
At least when he's on commentary, he's out of the house, and they can change the channel.
I'm sure they aren't. I don't know them or anything I'm just sure.
Dude was great. You just can't separate him from the dying days of WCW you wannabe smarks 😂
You can sense the hidden anger and disappointment in Johnny's voice the moment they mention Chuck E. Cheese. It's almost like he has bad history with the place...
I'm picturing in my mind an animated version of Johnny's face becoming angrier at that part. Lol!
He broke 4 of his toes as a child
@@georgepiedra8791 that's hard-core
@@darthtater1231 keep it hard-core
@@Sethantoniorodriguez or keep it softcore brother. It's really up to you dude
Jawnny not being mad about Brian Adams made this for me
He's managed to restrain his Brian Adams hate during these WCW reviews
The Jeff Jarrett/Beetlejuice segment actually became an inside joke between my friends at school and only like one of them was a wrestling fan which rules lol
Any wrestling joke or bit that transcends wrestling is great
"Charles Cheese" popped me.
Charles Entertainment Cheese
My god! Did John Blud just praise Brian Adams? Is this the twilight zone? Lol
Next he'll say someone does a great overdrive
@@Iliketoeatallday haha that’s the day that the wrestling world comes tumbling down.
I'm scared bro. Hold me.
We 'bout to change some thangs.
@@evrbody if he starts to praise fortune four then it’s all over boys! Lol
i'm a stooge
he's a stooge
she's a stooge
cuz we're all stooges, hey!
Vince Russo winning the belt was way worse than David Arquette. Prove me wrong.
Arquette is a bad business decision, Russo is a spit in the face to the fans and to the wrestlers who maybe deserved a transition run and never got it.
@@Two-ToneMoonStone at least arquette went back and actually trained and respected the business. russo never learned anything
@@SweetzTheOneRusso invented Watahh bro …….Watahh 💧🌊
I always pop for Tony getting up. Every time. My guy said, "I gotta get a wudder, you got this."
It’s ok guys. I learned that the 2000 WCW logo said WCW literally 2 months ago
You mean it *wasn't* a subtle pitch for Turner to try and get the Indy 500?😂
@@mgb4692what? How do you come up with that.
Madusa didn't suffer through a shitty bikini contest with Missy Hyatt at Beach Blast 1992 to get forgotten like this lmao.
This was a very special night bro
It might not have turned the tide in the Monday night war (RAW debuted on TNN) but hey I'm sure it was the catalyst for the Giants Super Bowl run
The 2000s wcw logo MAY have not looked like it should be wcw. But at the same time, it TOTALLY looked like it would be the logo
You just knew it was a cheap and pathetic attempt to rebrand themselves when the real issue was having the douchebag from Long Island writing your tV
Reno's roll of the dice was crap because he took it all on his back when the other person was basically on top of him.
Least Cross Rhodes Cody makes it look like the guy lands on his head
Honestly, The Roll The Dice just looks like a naff Cross Rhodes.
Cross Rhodes does depend sometimes on how the other guy sells it like Sammy or Darby both look like they land on the top of their head lol. But Cross Rhodes is so much better overall
@@ryansmith7850 It does, but I think Reno never had the speed for it, it was like he just turned so he was underneath the guy and just dropped down and took a back bump. At least that's how he did it during the ones that I've seen, I doubt he did them all like that.
You know it's good when it's over an hour
I remembered the moment of Shaggy sliding off the bus after the Awesome Bomb like it was yesterday lol.
THE BUS HAS BEEN WASHED!
I got to boo John Rocker in person in 2001 and it's one of the coolest things I've ever done in my life. That dude's a fuckin' booger.
"Thank you Hey Arnold." - Pulse 2020
I don't know how they didn't pick up on the fact that New Blood Rising happened a month after the New Blood had broken up
Flair working the trauma bus after wrestling, the siren doesn't work so they give him a bullhorn so he can "WOOO!" cars out of the way.
Why does "Supercrackers" sound like a Kid Rock album?
Mike Awesome deserved to be pushed so much better than he was. He had it all. He could wrestler, was strong, but was also agile for a big man. He should have been a world champion in WWE.
He also had absolutely no regard for anyone else's safety, soooo...maybe not.
Nah he was perfect for Japan…
18:56 For some backstory on John Rocker, and why he's so hated:
Rocker was a relief pitcher who played for the Atlanta Braves from 1998-2001. He put up 88 saves and 322 strikeouts over his entire 6 year career, which is pretty okay.
In 1999, he was interviewed by Sports Illustrated, and was asked whether he'd ever play for the Mets or the Yankees. He replied, and i quote (in full, this is the full quote from his Wikipedia page):
"I'd retire first. It's the most hectic, nerve-wracking city. Imagine having to take the 7 Train to the ballpark looking like you're riding through Beirut next to some kid with purple hair, next to some queer with AIDS, right next to some dude who just got out of jail for the fourth time, right next to some 20-year-old mom with four kids. It's depressing... The biggest thing I don't like about New York are the foreigners. You can walk an entire block in Times Square and not hear anybody speaking English. Asians and Koreans and Vietnamese and Indians and Russians and Spanish people and everything up there. How the hell did they get in this country?"
Yeah, some pretty fucked up stuff.
He also admitted to using steroids, but that's nowhere near as bad.
He was spittin facts!
I threw a battery at him when he came out the pen at Shea 🏟️ 🔋🔋
49:21 WCW's first bikini competition was a part of three contests between Madusa & Missy Hyatt at Beach Blast 1992
Ducey was Hot af back then..…”92’ Hot”
I just realized the idea of the cage match and how it’s promoted is dumb. They say the cage is there so there’s no interference and you can’t escape. BUT ONE OF THE WAYS TO WIN IS TO LEAVE THE CAGE
Are you really surprised that the same company that made their young hungry Talent the heels against the millionaire past-their-prime veterans, was too incompetent to understand how to advertise a Hell in the Cell rip-off match to Their audience??
Somewhere over the years it got morphed from “You Can’t Escape The Cage” to “You Win By Running Like A Coward”
@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 the issues with the millionaire club is who is going to boo Ric Flair over Shane Douglas? Hogan over Kidman? It was doomed to fail.
@Artmageddin Hogan was very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY easily booed in 2000. And people like Kidman. Flair works best as a heel and well Shane Douglas I don't really care about.
@@rickhaavisto9023Vince McMahon Cage Match Dichotomy
Yo I’m so early. I can already tell this is gonna be a GOATed episode.
The night I began watching wrestling, thankfully it was on another channel
Lets go to work on these sonic BURGAS.
Alright bois, let’s discuss: who’s the worst commentator?
Mark Madden
OR
David Otunga
I’ll take Matt Striker for 300
@@PhantomCyb0rg I definitely agree he was not a good commentator, but would you rather have his mediocre commentary or have him go back to wrestling where they take close shots of his ass every time he enters the ring like they did in the revamped ECW?...
@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 oooo true excellent point there
Madden.
@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 Striker wasn't bad at the start but he got heat backstage for being a "know-it-all" and vince started feeding him obviously fake facts to spout and tgen he stopped giving a fuck.
He was also ok on Lucha Underground.
that's gonna be a all time great thx guys
Fun fact, jumbo Elliott and the stieners share the same alma mater, university of Michigan
Russo is undefeated with a legitimate pinfall victory over a 12 year old kid
Worse part is I was using Reno since 94 as a backyarder looong before he ever became a WCW guy!!
I’m sure your “Roll of the Dice” on the front lawn was a much better one at that
I loved the Canadian Maple Leaf, legit one of my fave submissions for years
Bro blew my mind that a wcw in the wcw logo legitimately. Had no clue
And we never saw Maria Vito again
Seeing little people getting smashed with guitars is too much fun. First Gary Coleman and now Beetlejuice
977 oglethorpe is like ten minutes from where wcw's office used to be.
Charles E. Cheese's shoot middle name is "Entertainment"
Jawwny i dont think theres anyone on the internet i love as much as i love you buddy
Mark Madden is still the absolute worst 20 years later.
Please do wcw in Sacramento I think 1999
I also love the wcw 2000 logo
Oh YEAHHHHH
Ms. Jones is basically the assistant the Filthy Animals hired to bribe Cat one time. Think it was also implied they were sleeping together at one point lol
36:00 WHAT
I'm a stooge, he's a stooge, she's a stooge, we're all stooges hey!
I approve the sorry uce, uce 🙌
Nice

AND YOU STAYED QUIT
1 bad year for WCW vs 15 bad years of bad WWE...
I never understood the "target" on 2000 wcw, cause it's no where near as utter cringe shit than 2006 - modern WWE that we get week after week, year after year.
WCW went under.
Being bad and losing is worse than being bad while still going.
*And* making money, if WCW was making like they were in 98 they'd have never been sold
Or as far as bad shit, see Madden for the last 15 years
@@mgb4692with wwe, and madden, no competition means complacency and it turns garbage, wwe only recently got good again cuz they have competition, hopefully aew lasts a good while, but it aint looking good 4 that in december 2023
@@idcwhatuthink4985well not just “competition” which is laughable when u think about it.. almost 3 million weekly compared to 800,000 that ends up 300,000 or less isn’t competitive whats been good for the program is No Vince and Kevin Dunn
You guys are jobless
This is their job... sounds like both of us are jealous
I fucking love Mark Madden what is this mark madden slander
